Course Description
This toolkit is provided by CDC - Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and will require a secondary login and/or registration.
An Emergency Use Authorization, or EUA, allows the use of drugs, biologics and medical devices that are not approved, licensed or cleared respectively (i.e., "unapproved medical products") in an emergency to diagnose, treat, or prevent a serious or life-threatening disease or condition when there are no adequate, approved, or available alternatives.
The medical product that is subject to the EUA may be a product that
• has never been approved, or
• has been approved for some other use, but not for the use required by the emergency.
During biological, chemical, radiologic, or nuclear incidents, the use of medical products under an EUA may be an element of the public health response.
